T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Vrcron GtnNzBUnc, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in'Garments,bf which thefollowing'is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a garment worn by women inwhich brassiere, corset cover and dress shields are combined in onegarment. These have generally been worn separate from one another, thebrassiere being made of a netted or like material, the cover being wornover the same, two garments therefore being worn above the corset andinside of the waist.

The object, therefore, of thisinvention is to provide a garmentincorporating both a corset cover and a brassiere intoa single garment,it beingso arranged however that the two portions of the garment aresufiiciently detachable for washing purposes.

These and other objects are accomplished by my invention, a moreparticular description of which appears below.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1is a rear elevation of my improved garment; Fig. 2 is a front elevationof the same; Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same, the brassiere portionbeing separated from the corset cover-portion; Fig. at is atop view of aportion of the garment; Fig. 5 is a front view of a. portion of thegarment. parts of the same being broken away; Fig. 6 is a view of myimproved garment in use; Fig. 7 is a sectional view on the line 77 ofFig. 5, looking in the direction of the arrows; and Fig. 8 is asectional view on the line 8-8 of Fig. 5, looking in the direction ofthe arrows.

Similar reference characters designates similar parts throughout theseveral views.

My improved garment consists of a brassiere portion 1 of nettedor likematerial.

garment. Atthe front ends of the garment are hooks and eyes orequivalent fastening means'8 and tapes 9 for holding the garment inposition about the body.

The corset 'cover portion 10 of the garinent comprises a rear portion11- and portions 12 which extend around the front of the wearer and theends of the same are provided with buttons 13 or other fastening meansand tapes 14. The corset cover portion 10 is placed outside of thebrassiere portion, the rear portion 11 being secured thereto at thelower edge or waist line of the garment by stitches 15. The frontportions 12 of the corset cover portion of the garment are not securedto the brassiere portion of the garment but are provided at their lowerends 'with shirrings 16 and elastic strips 17, the

elastic strips giving the corset cover the desired shape and holding thesame firmly about the body. -The corset cover portion is also secured tothe brassiere portion at its upper edge by snap fasteners or the like18, thus making the corset cover portion detachable "from the brassiereportion at its upper edge. It will also be noted that the corset coverportion is detachable from the brassiere portion at every pointexcepting where it is secured by the stitches 15 at the waist line tothat of the corset cover and brassiere portions can be readily ironedseparately from one another.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that my invention is not restricted tothe specific embodiment shown herein, but is broad enough to cover allstructures coming within the scope of the annexed claims.
